Saturday March 20th

This was a fun day for us! We started out with Kaci's baby shower and it was really fun. I wish I had taken some pictures of all the fun baby stuff she got. There was so much delicious food I could help myself and ate way too much! Sarah and Terry came for the shower and to go to Sarah's friends' wedding. My grandma came from Utah and it was so fun to see her and Jay. Mom and Grandma and I did some shopping after the shower and then headed home to make sure Grandpa wasn't too worn out watching Carson. He had a great time with Grandpa (he always does) and informed me that he peed outside and it made a river :) Sarah had turned 22 earlier in the week so we celebrated her birthday that night with cake and ice cream. Between the baby shower, Costco samples, dinner and the birthday cake I definitely ate way too much that day!





Quick trip to Pocatello

On March 13, Jill had an open house for the ISU dental hygiene program and so I went with her and mom to spend the day. She didn't get home from Walla Walla until really late and then we had to be in Pocatello at 9 AM. It was fun to have a day with the girls and Carson had a great time hanging out with Dad. Sarah came down from Rexburg and we all went to a little presentation to learn more about the program. While Jill had to take some tests Mom, Sarah, and I took a tour of the facilities and then went to JoAnns to check out a big sale they were having. I picked up some pretty fabric for some new curtains I am making for our living room and for the kid's room. I also found a bed set at Ross for $20 for our Bedroom. Mom treated us to Red Lobster for lunch and then Sarah had to head back to Rexburg for work that night. I need to get a picture from Sarah of all of us at lunch so I will edit the post when I remember to ask her.

Carson and Logan

Carson has so much fun playing with Logan and loves when he comes over. Logan broke his elbow and just got his cast off yesterday. When Carson first saw Logan's cast he was a bit concerned and wondered, "why his cast not have animals on it?" When Carson broke his arm his cast had dinosaurs on it. I couldn't believe he could even remember that!

March

Here it is the last day of the month and I didn't do very well with my goal of posting more often so now we will play catch up!

--Carson loves to "borrow" things. He doesn't quite understand the concept and doesn't like to give the item back though. Grandma Jacobson had a tub full of Lincoln Logs and he asked to borrow them. He would have me help to build him a house and put his Little People characters in it and then the dinosaurs would come and tear the house down.
This is how he has taken to watching TV lately. He will just balance on his head until he falls over and then do it again...crazy kid, not sure why he does that!

Every time we eat at Costco he wants one of the little kids cups by the register because they are, as he says, "just my size mom!" I found a pack of them at Target on clearance so we brought them home and he unloaded all of them and then stacked them back up. He is always so excited and proud to show us the things he does.

More from Carson....

Carson says the funniest things sometimes. Here are the latest three:

1. He was at Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson's house and wanted an apple. Grandma peeled and sliced it with one of those cool peelers that mount onto a cutting board or the counter. He told her, "Grandma that's incredible!"

2. In our spare room we have Sarah and Jill's old bunkbeds and Carson was climbing up on them. I told him to get down and come out of the room right now....he turns around and tells me, "mom just be patient!"

3. Carson likes to "cut" my hair. He gets all the brushes and combs from the bathroom and brushes my hair and makes cutting sounds. (I am sure to keep the real scissors hidden!) Well last night after he did it he said ,"ok now we can go to Jace's house" He associates hair cuts with Jace's house. I told him that we weren't going there tonight because it was too late. So then he says, "Let's play a Jace game----I will be Jace and you will be Tanille" He cracks me up!
